<h2 id="introduction">DRAFT RELEASE NOTES - Introduction to Go 1.11</h2>
19+
20+
<p>
21+
<strong>
22+
Go 1.11 is not yet released. These are work-in-progress
23+
release notes. Go 1.11 is expected to be released in August 2018.
24+
</strong>
25+
</p>
26+
27+
<p>
28+
The latest Go release, version 1.11, arrives six months after <a href="go1.10">Go 1.10</a>.
29+
Most of its changes are in the implementation of the toolchain, runtime, and libraries.
30+
As always, the release maintains the Go 1 <a href="/doc/go1compat.html">promise of compatibility</a>.
31+
We expect almost all Go programs to continue to compile and run as before.
32+
</p>
33+
34+
<h2 id="language">Changes to the language</h2>
35+
36+
<p>
37+
There are no changes to the language specification.
38+
</p>
39+
40+
<h2 id="ports">Ports</h2>
41+
42+
<p>
43+
As <a href="go1.10#ports">announced in the Go 1.10 release notes</a>, Go 1.11 now requires
44+
OpenBSD 6.2 or later, macOS 10.10 Yosemite or later, or Windows 7 or later;
45+
Support for previous versions of these operating systems has been removed.
46+
</p>
47+
48+
<p>
49+
There are <a href="https://golang.org/issue/25206">known issues</a> with NetBSD on i386 hardware.
50+

57+
<p>
58+
Go 1.11 adds an experimental port to WebAssembly (<code>wasm/js</code>).
59+
</p>
60+
61+
<h2 id="library">Core library</h2>
62+
63+

<h3 id="minor_library_changes">Minor changes to the library</h3>
68+
69+
<p>
70+
As always, there are various minor changes and updates to the library,
71+
made with the Go 1 <a href="/doc/go1compat">promise of compatibility</a>
72+
in mind.
